My bus was 30min early at the pick up point, the driver was so kind to pickup the phone and call me to find out if I was still going to travel with them. While I was on my way to the bus & that was the kindest service I got

1st challenge was that bus was 3 hours late with no advice whatsoever!
The trip was OK, but bus was not in best condition and had a foul smell throughout the whole trip.
it would be unfair of me to tell others not to use Makalala given this was the 1st time i used them, but my experience compared to other trips i have made on same route was less than enjoyable.

This was the first time my employee travelled out of Cradock. I booked a ticket which said the departure was from Caltex in Jacalta Rd and the arrival point was the foreshore Cape Town. The actual departure point was the Total garage and arrival point was In Crossroads. The driver said he will drop her where she is going. Asked for the address but he had no idea how to get her to her destination. Communication was very bad and after more than 2 hours, I asked him to meet me at a garage so that I can collect her. The driver had no idea where he was and dropped her eventually at a random garage. Taking into account this is the first time this person has ever travelled. They left her alone at the garage and drove off at 3am. This poor young lady left there traumatised.
